A single cask release of Tomatin whisky to celebrate their 125th Anniversary in 2022.
Upon release, this is the oldest Tomatin to have ever emerged from the quiet, calm captivity of their warehouses.
With great age comes wisdom, and that manifests itself here in an impeccably balanced interplay of malt and oak.
Distilled on 7th August 1971 and matured for 50 years, spending the final 14 years in a first fill Oloroso sherry butt.
Presented in an exquisite crystal decanter housed in an Italian crafted wooden box and accompanied with a gold/brass plated stopper and a miniature of 50 year old.
Tasting notes by Master Distiller, Graham Eunson:
In true celebratory fashion, this single malt is bursting with aroma. Dried tropical fruits are first to greet the nose before a mix of nuts, dark chocolate and honey.
Much like the history of Tomatin itself, the palate is slow to open with gentle hints of fresh orange and apricot, it then becomes more intense with notes of dried fruit and spices before a wave of Oloroso Sherry driven flavours. The flavour recedes, leaving an elegant, rich sweetness to linger.
